So far, so good in using Windows 10. But I really hate new Skype- wish I had some option to rollback this app. And multiple desktops- this thing is great!
You can restore the old animations I believe by simply swapping the AMAP resource in Aero.msstyles and replace it with the AMAP resource from 8.1's Aero.msstyles.
[QUOTE=Terb;46390658]So far, so good in using Windows 10. But I really hate new Skype- wish I had some option to rollback this app. And multiple desktops- this thing is great![/QUOTE] You can download Skype from the site, and it's the old one. I never use the one included with Win10
I'm not very well informed about Win 10 but are they going to finally update the system icons?
New build out. [url]http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/[/url]

[url]http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/[/url][/QUOTE] beware that this build is VERY unstable. I've had explorer crash 4+ times, random black screens after logging in, and when opening the charms there's a few second delay of just 'black' before filling with content.

these look like shitty powerpoint clipart
It should look a bit like the old folder. Not fully open.
[url]http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-there-will-be-windows-10-upgrades-for-all-lumia-windows-phone-8-devices[/url] Apparently all current WP8 devices will get Windows 10 (which would actually surprise me a bit). Was kinda on the fence about buying a device right now (I was thinking about either the 830 or the 930), partly because last time I bought a device I got stuck on 7.8. I mean, it runs as fine as it did the day I bought it, but it's kinda annoying not getting new features, and even losing access to applications like Skype. [editline]13th November 2014[/editline] And hopefully the icons are just placeholders.
yup it's fucked
o shit just installed avast and it decided to block explorer.exe and I couldn't do anything on the next boot, it was just a blackscreen with functional mouse. I ended up uninstalling it in safe mode. you have no idea how hard it is to get into safe mode when you have a ssd :suicide: [editline]15th November 2014[/editline] seems to be a common problem too
Is the latest build okay to use?
Just installed it, all seems good so far (they even fixed that ugly animation). [vid]http://ss.infd.us/2014/11/2014-11-17_20-10-29.mp4[/vid]
Anyone having a black screen after boot? I can only get it to start in safe mode.
I spoke too soon. Explorer.exe just crashed twice in a row. (darn my automerge)
One thing I [I]have[/I] noticed is that there's a "Battery Low" icon on my lockscreen on my desktop PC.
RoboChimp approves of Windows 10 :quagmire:.
Anyone on the slow ring? Have they fixed most of the bugs? I'm away from home for a while so I can't find out.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46519681]And recently on both laptop AND desktop I'd had Steam and Team Fortress 2 crash simultaneously not sure what that's a product of but I can't remember that happening outside of Win 10[/QUOTE] This (except with Dota) is why I've switched back to 8.1 unfortunately.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46519681]Steam and Team Fortress 2[/QUOTE] oh so it's not my hdd dying? It happens with a lot of games for me, they just freeze for ~ 1 minute, sometimes it's happening every 5-10 mins and sometimes over couple of hours. weird.
Windows 10 will support FLAC from the get go.
New build is up (probably a little late saying that), currently downloading it myself. Anyone with less shit internet have it already? How is it?

They're having an event in January to announce all the consumer features. [url=http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/27/7298717/windows-10-consumer-features-january-event]sauce[/url]
I hope they will not screw it up. Windows 10 has a huge potential if they do it right.
I'm on a slow ring, and yes, I also experience crashes of Steam + game that is already running. Good thing I have Ubuntu with Dota 2 so I can quickly dual boot to Linux.
is visual studio totally boned for anyone else on 10. the UI hitches constantly for me
I stopped using 10 as it would crash with VMware (when VMs shut down). Did / does anyone else have this issue?
Do you mean Windows 10 was running in VMWare or running VMWare in Windows 10? If you mean running VMWare on Windows 10 then yeah, shutting down a VM freezes Windows.
